LOL Warren, you wouldn't know "100% serious" if it slapped you in the face! John - I'm offended that you've nicked my subject, and even more offended that you've done it better than me! Great Stuff.
Kind Regards Jono (blue eggs rule) slack . . . . . ps our chickens eat horse muck - that okay for you Warren?

I had been trying to think of a good broken-egg photo, but John beat me to it. As for the health claims, grain-fed chickens or cattle produce toxic eggs or beef. Animals that eat a natural diet yield food products that are as good for you as high-quality seafood. This fact is especially important to people like me who throw up when they eat seafood. - Warren (being 100% serious)

EB..."Eggland's Best"...Is that the mark of the "best"--or the mark of the "beast"?! After all, aren't the eggs pretty much the same...on hte inside? (Plus or minus a few points of cholesterol, but then what matters is how many you eat, anyway.) --Kim

Flick and Quentin, thanks for the comments. The brown eggs are free range! and the white eggs are an "engineered" variety (noted by the red stamp) to have higher omega-3 fatty acids. Quintin, did you pick up on this subtle contrast?... thanks, John

Ahh, John, but are they free range? Well, at least you have given your imagination free range :-) Very good shot, technically and artistically, and yep, bang on theme. - Quentin

This is excellent John (or should that be eggcellent?), very, very clever. The subversive brown eggs causing a gradual falling out among the ranks of subordinate white eggs. The broken egg and yellow yolk are a clever counterpoint. And it's a good contrast pic IMHO.
Flick.
